j_jza80 Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Another chap in the US has just gone over the 1000whp figure on a stock bottom end 2JZ-GTE. Looking at the comments this is at least the 4th Supra to achieve this, along with at least one 2JZ-GTE SC300 (Soarer). Very impressive, but one wonders how long it will last https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=1260784880675911&id=142284982525912 (Notice it's still using the stock radiator too!! ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheefa Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 I think we all know this could end in tears soon enough..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted February 22, 2017 Author Share Posted February 22, 2017 Alot has to do with use and the rest of the setup though, I know that with the Audi 5 cylinder turbo lumps, people will bend the conrods on the stock ABY bottom ends using an RS2 turbo (torque monster) to reach over 400hp, but people have achieved over 500hp using more modern turbos on them. But yeah, if this thing is going on the drag strip regularly I don't see it lasting long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skippyboyo1 Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 do it right first time is my thinking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Style Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Also got to remember it's American figures. So it's probably making about 1000 at the fly in reality A very impressive feat none the less. The comments below the video have the owner say it was a "hero pull". So was probably dialed way back for regular use Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berg Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Why are american figures so different to ours anyway? If a certain setup here makes 600hp, the american always get 800 out of the same setup lol Same with 1/4 mile where supras around the 500hp mark are running 10's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alibabba Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 US figures are not different than ours. Plenty of Supras in Europe match spec and output (RWHP and 1/4mile). Just get a good setup and tune®. For some reason you UK guys are always doubting their numbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not true, theres always been a difference in figures between the US and the UK. 2 similarly specced cars on different sides of the pond, US figured will always be more. Thought the max on a stock bottom end was 750/800 UKHP? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought the max on a stock bottom end was 750/800 UKHP? Which would be circa 1000fwusahp when you factor in transmission loss. I'm sure they use the term 'whp' instead of 'fwhp', but then the real number is at the wheels, as that's where it's measured Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hemanhead Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Remember also they sometimes do runs on racefuel and when you watch races on the 'texas streets' they're always on racefuel, will make a massive difference to the power output. They do lie about power figures but we setup our cars completely differently, we like a corner or two, they set theirs up for highway and drag racing.
